My website is mucision.com that sells CNC services, can I use Shopify? I have been using Wix before, but I think it is not as good as Shopify? Can Shopify remove the shopping cart function? Are there any good templates you can recommend?
Topic summary
A user currently running a CNC services website on Wix is considering migrating to Shopify but wants to remove or disable the shopping cart functionality, as their business model may not require traditional e-commerce checkout.
Key Points:
- The cart page cannot be completely removed from Shopify, as it’s integral to the checkout process
- Alternative approaches include using a cart drawer or pop-up instead of a full cart page
- The add-to-cart functionality can be hidden on product pages by customizing the theme
Workaround Steps:
- Navigate to Online Store > Themes in Shopify admin
- Select Products from the page dropdown in the theme customizer
- Hide cart-related blocks (quantity selector, buy button) using the eye icon
Status: The discussion provides a partial solution for hiding cart elements but doesn’t fully address whether Shopify is suitable for a service-based business or offer theme recommendations as requested.
Hi @aluminumi
You cannot completely remove the cart page from your Shopify store, as it is an essential part of the checkout process. However, you can customize its appearance or modify how it functions. For example, you can use a cart drawer or pop-up instead of a full-page cart.
If you want to disable the quantity selector and buy button on your product page, follow these steps:
- From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes.
- Find the theme you want to edit and click Customize.
- Click the Home page drop-down menu and select Products.
- Hide the blocks related to adding items to the cart (such as the Quantity selector and Buy button) by clicking the eye icon next to them.
I hope this helps
Best,
Daisy
